Dear CSBA Guru
I rarely manage to make a roster movement change correctly the first time. Even though I think I do it right, my save prevents me from fixing it since I can't make any more changes for that date-time. So I back-date the change to make it right. What I do: I right-click down on a player and drag to the target roster status, and this little green icon moves. But what I don't realize is that I hadn't actually highlighted the guy I wanted first. I'm actually moving a different player.

Dear SIW
First off, I hope you realize that you can do several roster movements for the given date-time. For example, move MacDonald to Demoted, move Blake to Activated, move Fickling to Injured. And only then do you click SAVE ... when you are happy. You should not move MacDonald and save. Then change the time and move Blake and save. etc
The instructions in the HELP window indicate that roster movement is a two mouse click operation:
1. Left-click on the player (to select the guy) .... then
2. Right-depress-and-hold to drag and drop him into the desired status (grid). SHIFT-Left-depress also works.
Oops ... you made a blunder -but- you haven't saved yet:
Suppose you realize that you've moved the wrong player? JUST DRAG&DROP HIM BACK TO THE GRID WHERE HE STARTED
Suppose you realize that you've dropped the correct player into the wrong grid? JUST DRAG&DROP HIM INTO THE CORRECT GRID
Then save...
Ohhhhh nooooo ... I saved the blunder and CSBAstat does not allow me to fix it:
Option1: there is a delete toolbar button. JUST DELETE THAT ENTIRE ROSTER MOVEMENT AND TRY AGAIN. After the deletion, a roster movement from a proximity date-time will display. You will have to change said date-time before you start the re-entry.
Option2: roster movements are chronological by date/time. JUST ENTER ANOTHER ROSTER MOVEMENT AHEAD OR BEHIND THE FAUX PAS.
